General:
Correct operation and maintenance, which is the aim of this book,
are crucial points for obtaining optimum safety in the engine room.
The general measures mentioned here should therefore be rou-
tine practice for the entire engine room staff.
Special Dangers
WARNING !
Cleanliness
The engine room should be kept clean both above and below the floor plates.
If there is a risk of grit or sand blowing into the engine room when the ship is in
port, the ventilation should be stopped and ventilating ducts, skylights and engine
room doors closed.
Welding, or other work which causes spreading of grit and/or swarf, must not be
carried out near the engine unless it is closed or protected, and the turbocharger
air intake filters covered.
The exterior of the engine should be kept clean, and the paintwork maintained, so
that leakages can be easily detected.

Fire
WARNING !
Keep the areas around the relief valves free of oil, grease, etc.
to prevent the risk of fire caused by the emitted hot air/gas in
the event that the relief valves open.
Do not weld or use naked lights in the engine room, until it has been ascertained
that no explosive gases, vapour or liquids are present.
If the crankcase is opened before the engine is cold, welding and the use of naked
flames will involve the risk of explosions and fire. The same applies to inspection
of oil tanks and of the spaces below the floor.
Attention is furthermore drawn to the danger of fire when using paint and solvents
having a low flash point.
Porous insulating material, soaked with oil from leakages, is easily inflammable
and should be renewed. See also Sections 704-01, 02 and ‘Sealing Materials’ in
this Section.
Order/Tidiness
Hand tools should be placed on easily accessible tool panels. Special tools should
be fastened in the engine room, close to the area of application.
No major objects must be left unfastened, and the floor and passages should be
kept clear.
Spares
Large spare parts should, as far as possible, be placed near the area of applica-
tion, well secured, and accessible by crane.
All spares should be protected against corrosion and mechanical damage. The
stock should be checked at intervals and replenished in good time.
Lighting
Ample working light should be permanently installed at appropriate places in the
engine room, and portable working light should be obtainable everywhere. Special
lamps should be available for insertion through the scavenge ports.
WARNING !
Check beforehand that the starting air supply to the engine and the starting air dis-
tributor, is shut off.
In case of oil mist alarm, precautions must be taken before opening to crankcase
(see Section 704-02).
Turning Gear
Before engaging the turning gear, check that the starting air supply is shut off, and
that the indicator cocks are open.
When the turning gear is engaged, check that the indicator lamp “Turning gear in”
has switched on. Check turning gear starting blocking once every year.
Slow-turning
If the engine has been stopped for more than 30 minutes, slow-turning should al-
ways be effected, just before starting in order to safeguard free rotation of the en-
gine, see Chapter 703.
Feeling over
Whenever repairs or alterations have been made to moving parts, bearings, etc.,
apply the “Feel-over sequence” (see Section 703-03) until satisfied that there is no
undue heating (friction, oil-mist formation, blow-by, failure of cooling water or lubri-
cating oil systems, etc.).
Feel over after 10-15 minutes’ running, again after 1 hour’s running, and finally
shortly after the engine has reached full load. See Section 703-03.
Sealing Materials
Use gloves when removing O-rings and other rubber/plastic-based sealing mate-
rials which have been subjected to abnormally high temperatures.
These materials may have a caustic effect when being touched directly.

If a new disc is not available immediately, turn the cover in relation to the cylinder,
in order to reduce the leakage of starting air.
Mount a new bursting disc and return the cover to the open position at
the first opportunity.
Alarms
It is important that all alarms lead to prompt investigation and remedy of the error.
No alarm is insignificant. The most serious alarms are equipped with slow-down
and/or shut-down functions. It is therefore important that all engine crew members
are familiar with and well trained in the use and importance of the alarm system.

The item numbers refer to the drawings showing the extent and placement of sen-
sors for standard alarms and indicators on the engine, if the signal equipment is
fitted. See Section 701-03, furtheron.
For sensors placed in the systems outside the engine, see the actual pipe arrange-
ments in the appropriate chapters.
If the engine is provided with special equipment, some values may differ from this
list. The correct values shall in such a case be obtained from the Plant Installation
Drawings.
Engines specified and optimised at derated power may have other normal service
values depending on layout power/revolutions and application.
Attention must be paid to the temperature levels stated under Nos. 8123
to 8125 (incl.), as two different values have been indicated, one value for
metal temperature and another for oil outlet temperature.
When setting the limits, maximum limits must be set at rising parameter and min-
imum limits at falling parameter.

For lub. oil pumps of centrifugal type, the pressure at stopped engine will be about 0.2 bar lower.
(The difference in pressure at stopped and running engine is mainly caused by influence of oscillation forces,
especially in piston cooling space).

The first link (first letter) indicates what is measured or the indicating variable. The
second link is the Ident.No., in which the first two digits indicate the point of meas-
urement or the indicating variable, followed by a serial number. The third link (sec-

Repeated signals:
Signals which are repeated, such as per cylinder measurement or per turbocharg-
er measurement, etc. are provided with a suffix number. The suffix number is iden-
tical with the place of measurement, such as 1 for cylinder 1, etc. Where signals
are redundant, suffix A or B may be used.
